I know it doesn't work at all. Since last few months I been trying my best to solve the issue and failed every time. Our hp laptops doesn't recognise the drivers published by AMD. Hp should publish the latest driver for us.

Problem solved. Downgrade to windows 8, install drivers, update to windows 8.1 and works.

The problem is solved. It took 6 months but in the end I finally figured it out :manhappy:

Follow the steps accurately

1. Open This Pc or My Computer and then go to Uninstall or change a program

2. As the list is displayed, you will see Intel Graphic Driver & AMD Catalyst install manager. You have to uninstall it both in express mode so that no other previous setting are available anymore.

3. First, uninstall Intel Graphics driver. If it asks for a restarting the pc than go for it.

4. As the list is displayed, you will see AMD Catalyst install manager, right click it and uninstall it in express mode. Uninstall all the AMD component. Restart your PC as it will ask you.

5. Go to This Pc or My Computer and then C Drive. Open Program Files & Program Files (x86) both of them if you are running 64-bit Os. In the search box write AMD and you will find some remaining files- delete them all.

6. Now you PC is free of previous drives and the remaining files. Although right click to Windows sign and go to Device Manager. You will see Display adapters and uninstall them both. This step is not necessary but just to be sure that your PC has no previously installed drivers.

7. Open your browser and download the latest Intel Graphics Driver for your PC. My driver was Win64_153322. Install it. If you install it correctly than you are half way through. Restart your PC if it requires.

8. Go to AMD web site and download the latest driver. To avoid complicacy best option is to download Autodetect. Because it will choose the best appropriate driver for your system. File name is amddriverdownloader.

9.  Open the file amddriverdownloader and download the driver. Download will be completed and it will start automatically the installation. Install it in express mode. Restart your PC as it will ask you to do it.

10. Hopefully your driver problems will be solved. To check it go to device manager and see if the drivers are installed correctly. Turn on CCC and give it a try to play a game in High Performance. You will see the problem is solved.

This is how I solved my AMD graphics problem. I been suffering since I installed Windows 8.1 just after it was released and today 15 Jun 14 I solved the issue. I can play any game in High performance now.

Thanks @Mridu99 for this nice tutorial!

Solved problems for hp pavilion g6 2231tx for windows 7 x64. ( Switchable Graphics )

( The laptop came with Win 8 SL but official Windows 7 drivers were available for the laptop . So, I wanted to setup win 7 on it. But the Graphic drivers were faulty & I was fully confused which graphic card has to be installed first & how to use Switchable Graphics. Mridu99 solved my problem.

I would like to share that the official graphic driver for AMD had an old driver for the Intel Card as well & a new driver for the same Intel Card was also available separately. I was relating it to Switchable Graphics feature & was more confused about it. But finally I downloaded Intel driver from Intel & AMD driver from AMD. I installed Intel first & then AMD. All is well now!  )
